Little Fire and Yaya's combined flame attacks clash with the "Eye of the Hurricane," creating a spectacle witnessed by many. Young visitors at Heart of Cloud, particularly those with the "Eagle Eye" talent, excitedly observe the battle between an Emperor-level Divine Wind Sparrow and a mysterious Black Crow, marveling at the evolving fire and wind skills.

Off to the side, someone nodded excitedly, completely failing to notice that the hawk-eyed youth before them seemed to be lamenting that Breeder Su had just lost a potential money-making channel.

But as if thinking of something, the hawk-eyed youth stared into the distance and continued:

"Take the scene right in front of us, for example. Breeder Su is probably testing out some new breeding skill! This kind of scene, this kind of footage—you can’t see it anywhere else no matter how much money you spend, right?"

At these words, quite a few of the boys and girls present nodded in agreement.

That really was true!

The hawk-eyed youth kept his gaze fixed, eyes locked firmly on the sight in the sky before he went on:

"So, in a bit I’ll use my spiritual power to imprint what I’m seeing right now and turn it into a recording. One video for a thousand credits. If you want to make up for missing it with a ’live’ ticket, and don’t mind that it’s all from my first-person view, you can come to me and buy a copy, yeah?"

Huh?

Quite a few people present turned to look at this guy.

"What you see with your eyes—you can imprint that and turn it into a recording?" The student who’d turned down Magic Capital Academy asked skeptically.

"The one and only effect of the ancestral Meditation Method passed down in my family. Let me make a fool of myself in front of my future classmates! Little brother Xiao Nanliang, at your service."

The hawk-eyed youth cupped his hands to the people around him, though his eyes never shifted. Very quickly, he continued:

"Hiss! Both sides are really going all out now, blood’s been drawn! Eh? What’s going on? Hey? Why is there so much fire starting to pour out behind that Divine Wind Sparrow too?

Still, that flame feels less solid than the one on that Black Crow, and even after tangling for so long, it looks like that Black Crow’s energy is still pretty full, huh?

Whereas that Divine Wind Sparrow isn’t nearly as fierce as it was before.

Damn, that Divine Wind Sparrow wants to run! Eh? Why is that tree starting to shake? Damn! Fire, so much fire! And little sparks and flying ash everywhere—crap, I can’t see anymore! It’s over, that Divine Wind Sparrow must have fallen to the ground. Once a flying pet beast hits the ground, that basically means it’s lost."

The hawk-eyed youth pulled his gaze back in frustration.

The final outcome hadn’t been caught; otherwise, he might have been able to squeeze a few thousand more credits out of each video.

But this was no time to brood. Seeing the battle over on that side come to an end, the hawk-eyed youth hurriedly took out a strange stone and closed his eyes, gripping it as if no one else were there. Then he took out a phone as well and placed both together inside his Beast Taming Space.

Three minutes later, he looked around at everyone present:

"Classmates, buy while stocks last! Absolutely no reselling—second-hand copies strictly forbidden. In future, when all of you inevitably rise to the top, please remember my name: your little cameraman lord, Xiao Nanliang! I take on all photography gigs! My slogan is: fast and quality!"

Ten minutes later, the hawk-eyed youth glanced at the extra money that had appeared in his account and nodded with satisfaction:

"Tsk tsk, anyone who can live inside the Heart of Myriad Spirits is filthy rich."

With that, he even bowed toward the direction of the Heart of Phoenix:

"Many thanks to Breeder Su for letting me use this treasure of a place to make a fortune, though I’m sure you, sir, wouldn’t even look at this little bit of cash. Much obliged, much obliged."

Only then did this guy swagger off.

Not far away.

Su Ping had no idea about any of this minor nonsense. Even if he did, he wouldn’t care. Right now, all his attention was on the Divine Wind Sparrow that had been snatched out of the air at the final moment by the Phoenix Perch Parasol Tree.

And on that Flame Venerable Avatar behind the Divine Wind Sparrow, which was slowly condensing and had voluntarily dispersed its power and resistance.

The latter didn’t need his attention.

Aside from the Little Flame, these Flame Venerable Avatars didn’t possess any sense of self at all. They existed solely for the sake of their main body’s revival.

Su Ping mainly focused on this Phoenix.

That last move from the Phoenix really showed him that after its Evolution, this Phoenix Perch Parasol Tree—whose Realm had likewise reached Monarch Sixth Rank—had battle strength that was nothing to scoff at:

[Phoenix Perch Parasol Tree (Wild)]

[Age: 16 years 2 months 29 days]

[Attribute: Fire, Wood]

[Current Level: Monarch Sixth Rank]

[Racial Potential: Emperor’s Tenth Rank]

[Skills: Super·Ash World (Beginner), Fire Tree Silver Flowers (Beginner), Chorus of a Hundred Birds (Proficient), Phoenix Bathing Rain (Proficient), Fire Vine Strangulation (Proficient), ...]

As expected.

That endless ash and flaming sparks just now, and the terrifying temperature that evaporated everything in an instant, really was a Super-Rank Domain Type Skill.

However, in the Breeder Association’s backend records, the Phoenix Perch Parasol Tree didn’t have this skill.

Obviously, there was only one explanation.

This was a result of Evolution brought on by tainting it with the Little Flame’s aura—or rather, with the Flame Venerable’s aura!

An excited gleam flashed in Su Ping’s eyes.

He looked over the other skills of this Hundred Birds Phoenix.

The few familiar Fire Element and Wood Element skills were one thing.

This Chorus of a Hundred Birds was its main Ability for luring in scores of flying bird pet beasts, allowing them to grow faster and granting all sorts of benefits.

As for Phoenix Bathing Rain, Su Ping hadn’t expected it to be a recovery-type Ability, capable of restoring the strength and injuries of the birds. Not bad at all.

After taking all of this in, a crisp hissing sound rang out, snapping Su Ping back to himself as he turned to look at the Fire Sprout.

Little Fire wasn’t in a rush to devour that Flame Venerable Avatar; after all, it had only just revived.

It needed some time to digest.

And at this very moment, Little Fire was standing on the Divine Wind Sparrow, whose cyan feathers had been burned away in large patches.

Su Ping paused for a moment, then remembered.

These bird pet beasts that were voluntarily drawn in and driven by the Flame Venerable Avatars could be subjugated by the victor after being defeated!

In other words.

This rare, precious bird with Emperor Level potential was now his?

It belonged to the Heart of Phoenix?
